Funny true story

My friends father was airlifted into our major hospital with kidney and heart issues and required surgery. She went home afterwards and said ring me if anything changes 4 hrs later she got a phone call come in we think your father had a stoke during surgery. Anyway the Dr is called in by the nurses my friend rushes in and while she is sitting by the bedside asks what has led them to believe he had a stroke well the nurses said his bloodpressure spiked and the pupil of his left eye is not dilated like the right and has little movement....so this is the funny bit her father actually has a glass eye and apparently it must be very realistic because no one could tell the difference. Needless to say her father had not had a stroke. But hey wouldn't have been neat if he had woke up and took his eye out lol

I agree with Anok, I was a little puzzled, until I got to the "funny part"

I'm sooo glad he didn't have a stroke in addition to what was already going on!!
